noobs

should noobs be spelled with a capital 'B'?? LOL

so has anyone posted a nood dictionary?? can we put that somewhere? it's getting a little old having people ask things like "if i wipe the phone will i have to redo this?" etc .. so some of the most common tasks some people have no clue .. they don't even know the construct of the phone they're attempting to modify

for instance:

/system	= mtdblock3 mounted with 67.5M

/cache	= mtdblock4 mounted with 67.5M

/data	= mtdblock5 mounted with 74.8M

ALT+W	= deletes /cache + /data

update.zip	= deletes /system

yes, yes .. i know this is for devs and we all know the basics .. however .. it seems we cannot hinder the "normal" people from strolling in .. should we have somewhere to direct them for these basic concepts?

i try to keep the philosophy:

if you ask a stupid question, you get a stupid answer

Radio Image/Firmware?

Hi all. I have been listening in the forum threads for some time but this is my first post. Guess I deserve the "noobs" title :)

Anyway, I am now in a project concerning Android. I have two questions basically that I've been busting my a** looking for answers but to no avail.

1. What is radio firmware/image? What is the working principal here?

2. What do I do to pack my build from the Android code project to become update.zip? Suppose I got the head master branch from the Android source base..

Maybe the second question should go in another thread, but let's make it simple for now.

Please guys, bear with me and any help would be appreciated. Thanks before.
[G1 Android Development] Yop.Solo:
short answer

1. ok

2. try the dev phone (see android market), but it has one restriction : no paying app is availaible.

2. on dev phone, as any other no-locked phone : insert, switch on, use.

3. no wired Internet without "rootin" the phone, afaik

4. of course. GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, ...

5. Hope I am.

Thanks Buddy

Hey pal,

Thanks for the heads up!

Now I am learning :-)

[G1 Android Development] arefin:
"but it has one restriction : no paying app is availaible."

-- do you mean I can only use non-paid applications developped in this forum or myself on that Phone? and NO application found on the Market?

if this is the case, I am happy with That. I think I will only like to have basic functionalities like calling/browsing/Photo-ing/texting and so on.

Regards,

arefin

masochists

Great post. I enjoyed learning the history of hacking the phone. One point. You should describe people who use the device keyboard for entering root commands as masochists as they would only do it that way if they enjoy pain and suffering. -George
[G1 Android Development] JoelOFH:
I applaud you for your idea, but this will not help any new users. You need to define the words in simpler way. Saying "the SPL and IPL of a flash based device" will confuse a new-comer automatically. Also, don't try jokes in here, like "it's free (as in beer)". What?! Confusing.

Thanks a lot for such a nice post in layman's language.

Having developed an Android app I was still not clear about the Radio and SPL. Got to know something about them today. But can't say learned all about them. This is definitely a good start point.

Keep up the good work. God bless!

Now that video is being rolled out to the masses, does anyone here have any inside info on these two services making their way to the G1? I know some hacked iPhones have this ability already, but I think those are special cases.
[G1 Apps and Games] smojo:
I am hoping one of the live video sites puts something out soon. Stickam has the viewer app out so far which lets you watch live streams. When I emailed them to find out about them bringing their mobile broadcaster to android I got no response. Qik hasn't responded to any questions about the G1 or android in the past few weeks on their getsatisfation page. Where I see you are active.

Seems like it is a waiting game which sucks. I am tired of mobile broadcasting using a laptop and webcam.

If you want Qik to come to android please add a post to this thread on Qik's help page so they know that lots of us are waiting. http://getsatisfaction.com/qik/topics/is_qik_coming_to_t_mobile_g1

Sorry guys im not going to finish this rom, the main reasons are i got no time to do so, uni and work take almost all my time and the other one is i lost interest in my blue angel, soon il be buying a touch pro so ive decided not to finish my rom, i apologize if anyone got exited about it but its just that i have lost all interest in making the rom , again sorry for not meting your expectations, and lasty i want to give a BIG thanks to swampy for guiding me into the right direction and providing me the tools for doing so, swampy you got my respect and thanks.

Ok guys ive ported or at least i think i did , the newest 6.5 build to our beloved blue angels..but theres a problem the rom is not booting its stays in the bootloader screen, my guess is that something is wrong in the imageinfo.bin or maybe the rom is to big hence the OS wont boot up(although the output .nbf image is exactly 32mb in size), i need help from senior rom cookers xplode,sun_dream,swampy so please guys if you see this post hit me up with a pm so you can help me figured out whats wrong in my rom.

note: Ive removed lots of things from the original rom like welcome center,IE8,widgets,office and a bunch of other crap that makes the rom heavy, don't worry il release them as cabs

And also i wanna thank bepe for his rom tools, xplode/sun_dream for inspiring me on taking this rom cooking journey ;D

Anyways stay tune guys.

Hi mate Have a look inside your XIP.bin and you'll find a little bit of space were you can put some OEM_Driver files "there's not much but can save you some space in rom image, or use explode or sundream XIP.bin as "base xip" but dump "it" and look inside and then remove the extra files you find;) from your OEM folder :D and make use of the ones in XIP.bin

Maybe you need to port the xip with other tool, there must be the mistake... ask personally to xplode i think he uses a different way to port, i mean manually. i have saw a thread with this kind of xplanation but i cant remember where... :cool:

Every couple hours I check my data connection and the slide bar is in the off position. Any idea why it keeps turning itself off?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] BehindTheLight:
Wow, you guys are awesome.

Thanks for the help.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] nhshah7:
could you possibly be losing service every hour or so depending on if you're moving around? maybe it's set to auto disconnect?

why do u want it on all the time?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] 10332007:
Wow... Patience :rolleyes: some of us live outside of forums....

There are plenty of reasons why your data keeps turning off, it has issues, it is being force off by your provider? Sim issues? Phone problems?

Some more details might be nice as well. Applications, recent changes, rom, usage...

I leave my data on non stop, I have to refresh it off and on but eh. Unlimited data. I chop through 5 - 600 mb a month easy.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Beeble:
Start > Settings > System > Advanced config (if you dont have it - get it) > Menu > More settings > Connections: Select your data connection and set to "always on"

Or find the reg key & edit it manually, i cant remember where it is right now.

You do know you could easily have found that by reading the forums right.....?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] BehindTheLight:
I searched in the forums for "data connections turning off" and "data connection" and found nothing.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] discipler:
Thanks. I did not easily find this. This forum page is the first place I found and I wanted to thank you. I had just added Advanced Configuration program this morning and all of the sudden the Data Connection kept turning off. But I didn't know how to get to the "more settings" option.

Thanks again.

I would have to say that it's really amazing and it's response is fast (fairly cheap too!)

It's currently on the winmo 6.1 rom. I was wondering if there's a way to update it to winmo 6.5?

I'm hoping that there would be someone out there who could help me.

Also i want to know if we can install manila2d for this pocket pc. thanks!

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] be_vigilant:
I also get this error. I am thinking its maybe to do with the push internet?

Also did you manage to fix the all settings left softkey problem in the Topaz Manila? When I press all settings it takes me to tasks tab on conenctions and not the full control panel

[HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\PushInternetEngine]

That will solve your opera error
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Hiataby:
ow ok thx. I already fix the problem by using the Topaz_Opera folder instead of the Blackstone_Opera folder and then add a fix cab.

The all settings problem I don't have. Don't know how to fix this.

Hey.

I have alot of call dropping over my house, so I thinking about changing radio of my HD.

I've some questions:

- There is any tutorial available to teach how to do that?

- Will I loose any data?

- It is Safe?

- What Radio should I choose? (I'm from TMN at Portugal).

Thanks for the help,

Vaurdan
[Touch HD General] SID6581:
Just use the 'activesync way' or put the rom on your sd card (if you have hardspl installed). There is no guarantee but i didn't lose any data, it's always recommended to have a backup of all your contacts/messages/etc. Just use the latest version 1.14.25.24 iirc

Good luck
[Touch HD General] vaurdan:
I really don't want to hardspl my device. It can be done using uspl?
[Touch HD General] Sean3:
Yes USPL will work. Here is a guide. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Radio. In terms of which is the best radio for your location, it's hard to say. 1.13.25.24 works well for me in the states, and seems to be pretty good all around, although, some in other areas have battery drain issues. It's a matter of seeing what works best for you. There are several radios in the wiki. Good luck.

PS: If someone is interested.To remove the texts "missed calls" and "calendar" I edited file 590ad244_manila in notepad. Even if no text can be seen, if I miss a call, it appears there. So it only remove the text where thera are no missed calls.No functionality is lost.

Hello,

Is it advisable to rerun hard-sl-v7- and ATT_lite before every change of the rom (att 8525).

First timer with a smartphone (or whatever it is), just picked up the thing and played with one cooked rom and would like to try others before I start loading it up with my own junk.

Regards, PK
[General Questions and Answers] galaxys:
Hi, you only have to flash hardspl once! then you can flash as many cooked roms as u like...

You don't have to flash the at&t official before every cooked rom. Unless u start having a lot of HR from a cooked rom, then the official rom will straighten the device out. See the Hermes forum section for more info & fun ;)

Hey all. I've upgraded to NFSFAN's newest rom - which is really sweet!! - but I'm having an issue with the keyboard. I can only access it in landscape mode; whenever I push the tiny button in portrait mode (which is the mode I usually use), nothing happens. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmitr:
Sigh, sorry for this but same question for you as the other fella with "keypad" probs.

Do you have the HTC Vogue (CDMA version of the touch)?

this ROM may be generic (non-carrier specific) but it is meant for ONLY the Vogue.

IF you do have the Vogue, did you follow the reccomended upgrade procedure?

1. Flash the ROM from bootloader mode

2. Hard reset

3. Run your carrier GPS reg.cab UNLESS your with Bell Mobility

If not, reflash and follow the recomended procedure, it cures many "wierd" issues.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codybear:
don't waste your money,

hold out for another month and get the diamond2-has micro sd slot,

or the touchpro2.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmitr:
No kidding,

I'm waiting for them as well. Just want to "feel" both when their in store to decide. I carry my Vogue in my pocket and will probably continue with that.

To bad NFSFAN got the first gen TP. I know there was a "get NFSFAN a TP" fund going on in another forum. Don't know if that's why. He did mention waiting for an HTC phone with the tegra chip. I really want my next phone to be one NFSFAN has as well, tried LOTS of ROMS, play a while then go back to his!!

For 24/7 stable use there just ain't anything better.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] ShakespearesEdge:
Yeah, I guess that maybe I'll wait for the others to come out, then. I do like the Touch, but its screen is a little too small and it's not very fast....
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] ShakespearesEdge:
Wow, I must say that I'm surprised to see the iPhone winning in this poll!!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codybear:
Yeah, I hope to learn everything I can from him and his vogue roms.

When the necessary stuff comes out to build roms for a

cdma version of the touch pro2 I'll definitely be

spending 99% of my time on building a siiick rom for that. ;)

It's winning only because no one is really voting. haha.
